  1. Answer: Option (B) 24 sec
    Explanation:
    Relative speed = = (45 + 30) km/hr
    = 75 x 5 /18 m/sec
    =  125/6 m/sec.
    We have to find the time taken by the slower train to pass the DRIVER of the faster train and not the complete train.

    So, distance covered = Length of the slower train.

    Therefore, Distance covered = 500 m.

    Therefore Required time =  500 x (6/125) = 24 sec.
